Bill > S0620

This resolution requests that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) officially name a specific stretch of United States Highway 276 located at precise geographic coordinates in Greenville County as "Alamo Cove" and install appropriate markers or signs designating this location. The resolution honors the brave firefighters who successfully contained and extinguished the Persimmon Ridge wildfire on March 26, 2025, during challenging conditions with low humidity and gusty winds. The firefighting effort involved over fifty firefighters and twenty-two fire apparatuses from multiple local fire departments and the South Carolina Forestry Commission, who worked together to prevent the fire from climbing the mountain and potentially causing catastrophic damage to homes and property in the Cedar Mountain and Cliff Ridge communities. The resolution also stipulates that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Department of Transportation and presented to the River Falls Fire Department, symbolically recognizing the coordinated efforts of the firefighting teams during this critical incident.
